Kebberfegg is a tool to help you generate large sets of keyword-based RSS feeds at one time. Keyword-based RSS feeds (some people call them "search based feeds")
are those
RSS feeds generated as a result of doing a search -- for example, both Yahoo News and Google News have keyword-based RSS feeds.
Keyword-based feeds are great because they can save you a lot of time by automatically updating search results and sending them to your RSS feed reader. But
it can take a lot of time to set up all the keyword-based feeds you might want to use across several different resources. Kebberfegg gives you one place to set up
as many as 64 keyword-based RSS feeds at a time, in yummy HTML or OPML flavors.
Enter your query in the box below. Underneath that you'll have the option to choose for what categories you would like to
generate feeds -- you may wish to search only blogs, for example, or only news sites. You may choose multiple categories -- use your CTRL key to
select more than one category.
Beneath that you'll have the choice to generate an OPML file containing your newly-generated feeds, or an HTML list with a link to the main
site, a plain RSS link, and a direct link to add the feed to My Yahoo*.
Please enjoy Kebberfegg -- I hope it saves you a lot of time. If you know of a site that generates keyword-based RSS feeds and you'd like it to be added to
Kebberfegg, or you have a comment/suggestion/idea, please send a note to tools - at - researchbuzz.com.

* The idea with the OPML file is that you're supposed to be able to import it into your favorite feed reader and instantly have access to all the feeds you generated.
While this does work with one OPML importer I tried (NewsGator) it did NOT work with Bloglines. It seems that Bloglines is doing something funky during the import
process and URLs are losing characters. The URL that Kebberfegg generates as RSS:
